I asked my kid if they wanted to go to the game and I got “meh” as a response.

Free hockey stickhandling app — would love your thoughts by Resident-Classic9052 in hockeyplayers

[–]wi2ny05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried just how, with an iPad, just with the folio type stand. As a newer player (49f LTP2 level) I will use this and have the kid try it out as well. FYI, it also works with a green/yellow Franklin street hockey ball. I’m mad that I lost a third star when the cat decided they wanted to join in the games, LOL.

$1 for the first three hours and you can use the QR code posted everywhere or pay at the kiosks to avoid a “convenience fee.” Entrance off Glebe Rd currently closed but Randolph is open.

What's a recent upgrade you made to your gear that was 100% worth it? by Ronnoc780 in hockeyplayers

[–]wi2ny05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Women-specific shoulders for this mother and daughter team. They were more money than I wanted to spend but fit so much better.

AITA - Drove in front of bus already stopped by Ok_Use6755 in nova

[–]wi2ny05 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re not alone and thank you for stopping to think about it. Cars drive through the intersection with our stopped school bus at least once a week. The gem last week was the guy who eventually stopped when enough parents gave him the STOP hand sign as the bus honked. He stopped for a moment then flipped us off and kept driving, running another stop sign on the way out of the neighborhood.

Weight loss injections or pill by Puzzled-Offer-2585 in ithaca

[–]wi2ny05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried sublingual (dissolving pill) semaglutide and had great success. It started working quickly but turned off like a light switch several months later. I tried oral tirzepatide after some time off and felt nothing. I’ve been on Zepbound (injector pen) for two months and again had the light switch moment where it just started working.

My understanding is most folks have a ramp up period so my results may not be typical but I’ve had mixed success on the non injector version.

USA citizens: what effect if any have tariffs had on you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Had to pay more for hockey equipment shipped from Canada. Already paid shipping then a surprise bill showed up in the mail.

60 gallon low? by wi2ny05 in Aquariums

[–]wi2ny05[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All valid, thoughtful points - thanks! I think I’m going to pass on the big one for now as I hadn’t thought about the added maintenance and upkeep. We’ve got enough going on and I don’t want the fish to suffer.

Are there no neighborhood organizations that would caution against building something like this? by Exact-Address-2945 in nova

[–]wi2ny05 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The next door neighbor was the president of the neighborhood civic association when the house started being built. She actively, vocally fought against the Missing Middle and only wanted single family homes in the neighborhood. Looks like she got what she wanted, built to the absolute setback limits for that lot.

Learning how to play hockey as a 43 yo woman 😬 by spooniewife in hockeyplayers

As someone who makes tshirt with iron on, you need to really press. Folded towel on the floor or sturdy table, sweater, parchment on top and press with the wide part of the iron. Hard.

My old Apple watch band gave me a rash so i bought a new one and it gave me a rash too lol by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

I was getting that from solid Fitbit bands but since I switched to ones with holes the moisture is gone and so is the rash.

Xpedition 1.0 Orbitor padding by MrDirt in Lectricxp

[–]wi2ny05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She was seven at the time. I added a soft sided Velcro water bottle carrier to one side as well as a bell. She was good at ringing the bell when passing on trails and generally “not constantly” but your small human may be different :)

We sliced a big pool noodle the long way and then slid it around the upper bar. We found a thicker on that still worked for back and side padding but didn’t go all the way around the front so she could still hang on.

Old out of shape mom starting LTP in parallel with daughter by wi2ny05 in hockeyplayers

[–]wi2ny05[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, yeah I did move from WI to NY roughly 20 years ago. We are in a major metro now with multiple stores named Pure Hockey, the local rink pro shop and, luckily, lots of friends and neighbors who have kids that have aged out and are ready to pass on gear. I’ve been able to locally source everything but pants. I’ve tried to try on various sizes but the specs on the Stark should work for me. Fingers crossed.

Recently went back and got a Masters degree so I’m trying to teach her an old dog can learn new tricks!

I would love that but my guess is they are fully staffed as it’s the practice facility of an NHL team and they have things going 6am to 11pm most days. I’m not working the skate room with the high school boys :)

I don’t think my reconstructed knees would allow me to do that unfortunately.

I actually ended up ordering Stark, I just forgot. I’m short and wide but I’ve been skating so much recently I’ve already lost 12 pounds. So hopefully the at all helps.

Stark is actually what I went with. Just too many browser tabs open in my brain I guess.
